One of the most discussed themes nowadays is that, can children choose their friends and partners by themselves or should their parents do it for them.There are two opinions of people ,most of them believe that youth people need to do this decision personally and others think that it should be done by their family. However, in my opinion, they need to have freedom in spending their lives with people they want, but it doesn’t exclude that their parents can aid them.
On one hand, I understand why half of the individuals think that grown ups need to choose friends for their kids.It could be explained by the fact that they just scared that their teenagers would be part of a bad group or relationship,so they tries to protect them from bad environment by making choices for them.Of course parents lived longer and gained more experience in surroundings behavior but they should trust to kids and just give them personal advices and suggestions.As evidence of this point, controlled children when they grow up wants to try everything their parents forbade them.
On the other hand, parents shouldn’t give much freedom in folks’ decisions. Because this can lead to a lack of consciousness when to stop and they can also stop listening to parents too,feeling themselves too independent.Therefore you need to find a balance in what your kids can and can’t do and discuss all it with them.
In conclusion, taking everything mentioned into account, I would argue that parental guidance is good, but you need to not overprotect and give them confidence in making choices ,and make it clear that you will always support and give advice
